I’m not sleeping on Ross and I hope he comes back healthy I’m simply saying he had a significant injury history that we chose to overlook. Just something to pay attention to over the next 3 years. I’m sure we will closely monitor the careers of Ross, HowRd and Hooker

I don't believe the Bengals overlooked anything. His injury history was well-known. According to Marvin, John Ross "jumped through the hoops and passed our medical," so they considered him clear of his previous injuries and only had to recover from his shoulder surgery. Maybe the problem is more with the Bengals medical staff, but we'll have to wait and see how much John Ross plays over the next 1-2 years before we call him a bust. It's only been 5 games. Mike Williams has also not played this year yet, but I don't see people labeling him a bust yet. Corey Davis has only played in two games and is hurt again, but I don't see people labeling him a bust yet either.
